My article on rediff.com and attacks on me:)

Don't miss the comments below, on faltu yogacharyas who are only out to make money:)
So many frustrated yoga teachers out there, on a warparth against any body who truly loves yoga.. It is a puzzle to me how yoga `' lovers' (ha, ha) become idiotically possesive about yoga..

If I loved the sky and u loved it too, do you have more right over it?

Such a stupid mistaken sense of commitment people have towards things.. .. these comments are by far, the most harmless, .. but if you glance back at columns in rediff.com that I have done for a few years now, a whole lot of comments (which I have nowadays stopped reading, there is such a violent attack on me, being unattractive, looking haggard, looking old, being a Muslim, looking like a man, being uninformed about yoga, being a pretender and other such things -- all these comments written in a sloppy style also, which makes it worse:)

It is intriguing to me, this attitude. I am not responding, so please don't start lecturing me about it (some people start that too, on this blog and think I am reacting to these things. If I did, would I by writing there still and for so many years?!!! ).

I am merely observing, objectively, the violence of their attack on me!!

World as illusion: science speak

But our experience of a stable outside world is a consistent illusion that the brain creates. It is an illusion that has been `designed' long before we arrived on earth, for the purpose of biological survival. The illusion begins at the first neuron. Our senses grab only a little of reality; the eye takes in a trillionth of the energy which reaches it, the ear similarly. So, our experience of the world as stable is so because of the way the brain is organized, not because of the way the world is.

DHYAN GYAN: silent yogi

Maharishi says

Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.

They know better:)
